is it possible im reacting to partner’s alcohol breath?

this feels ridiculous to type lol but i often feel worse the day after spending time + sleeping next to my partner when he drinks alcohol.

when i open an alcohol wipe i get a sort of ‘ew this is strong get it away from me’ reaction as well.
i have really bad alcohol intolerance since getting covid, can’t drink it for years now.

is this crazy/impossible? i’m second guessing cause i also have childhood trauma re alcohol and hate being sober around drunk ppl even if they’re normal and chill, so could also be emotional overexertion (i also have ME)?

thanks for any advice 💗

Hi fellow hell inhabitants. 🩷 Reinfection at the end of 2025 seems to have cost me my moderate-severe baseline, and I now find myself in a severe state. I haven't been able to shower, tolerate daylight, move from my bed to the sofa (at all) or listen to music (almost never) since. My partner's employer has also recently lowered his wages and we are struggling.

Funds raised will go towards off-label treatments in hopes that some experiment can raise my baseline, supplements, electrolytes, gluten-free/MCAS-safe food, disability aids, energy costs, cleaning services and care for when I am alone.

Thank you so much for helping us survive this shitstorm <3
